Title Action for Neighbourhood Change: Sustainable Community Engagement and Renewal through Inclusive Dialogue Day / Time Thursday, June 22nd / 13:30 - 15:30 Room MR01 Event Description Action for Neighbourhood Change is a federally funded action research partnership exploring how locally driven revitalization strategies can enhance the capacity of individuals and families to build and sustain strong, healthy neighbourhoods. In this session you become one of the residents confronting the challenges of a neighbourhood on the edge. The goal is to experience the dynamics of neighbourhood organizations and learn how to make the neighbourhood voice heard. Gloucester Village is the new face of urban poverty in multicultural Toronto. Built largely in the 1950s, it combines tracts of single-family homes with a large subsidized housing complex. High-rise apartments, constructed in the 1970s to accommodate a burgeoning rental population of youthful baby boomers, now house successive waves of new immigrants. Average annual family income is about $20,000. While there are a disproportionately high number of children, the area has few programs for youth. You are meeting as the “local safety committee” to decide what should be done.
